Anyway,
To alleviate my own impact - I donate prototypes to my local neighbourhood house to give to kids, I use them to raise money for charity and when I sold physical items, I only sold my own designs. And if people *do* want prints, I direct them to reputable, ethical sellers.
The 3*d print slop movement is really starting to make me feel lame about being a 3d print artist ngl
the rampant a*i use, the people justifying art theft to mass print stuff for market stalls that nobody wants thats wasteful, people claiming designs they print are their own
people see it as a plug-and-print easy money maker and refuse to learn anything that'd make them unique. download a print file, use shitty settings, mass print, then toss to landfill when they don't sell.
I'm so tired.
every store selling the same awful 3d printed dragons or clicker fidgets and having no coherent theme or anything, and outright refusing to learn new skills like blender or basic file editing or machine maintenance because they don't 'have time'
i miss the reprap days sometimes
don't get me started on the amount of times my work gets stolen and sold without my consent lol. i've seen people in facebook groups taking photos of their stalls *with* my items in them with no credit and no license/permission to do so. There are no ethics in 3d slop stalls.
@alexriesart I ended up loving the shadow leviathan so much that when I started getting into warhammer, I chose Tyranids and tried to design a Shadow Leviathan Tyranid army. It's not perfect but the love is there 😊
Accepted a job offer today! I survived the redundancy!
Out of two offers I waited until I got the second offer that was better for me and I'm happy :)!
I have nobody close to me I can talk to about how much I love Noah Kahan tbh. So the void gets it.
I can’t wait for September. Night one tickets with an amazing view 😊
6 Job interviews this week, 3 for one company, 2 for another and 1 for another. Heading into an office tomorrow.
I have been *smashing* this job hunt out. Feeling so much better. And definitely over caffeinated.
After printing so many of my original Axolotl's for charity, then releasing the files online to see tens of thousands printed worldwide.. I figured it was time for an update.
Download and print your Happy Articulated Axolotl V2 today :) https://t.co/fEwepOHcbv
